My 86 - and someday to be my 11 - was named Xanthos (amazing, right?) after one of Achilles' horses.

Well, I pulled it from wikipedia, so you should probably complain to them.
Yes, he is a Norse pagan God and not explicitly German. That is correct. Yeah, I wasn't thinking of the Thor pantheon (Marvel comics, etc.) Yeah, that is pretty awesome. I wish I had more time to devote to Mythlology. Loved it in college as an English Major/Literature Minor. I use "wisdom" while driving and don't look for a fight. Might be appropriate for my car after all is said and done. Car looks badass and I think Odin is still fitting for it.
The full length stripes act like war paint of sorts, but it is just to instill fear into inferior vehicles.
